Astor belongs to the "Bagner's Adventurer Prep School", an institution created with the purpose of nurturing excellent adventurers. A hard worker with outstanding academic achievements and innate abilities, he was expected a position within "Bagner's Official Investigators." However, during the Arcana Assesment Ceremony, it's revealed that he is a 1☆, the lowest possible rank, leading to his expulsion from the academy. The first volume marks the beginning of this fantasy series featuring the rise of a genius from rock bottom!
I love stories about characters who are counted worthless turning out to be awesome and this one has a very interesting twist in that the protagonist was expected to be amazing, is the top student, and THEN is discovered to have only one star. The buildup in the first volume is great, so I’m looking forward to more about this character!
